Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Liucheng County, Guangxi, China, with a population of 71,100. It operates under national wastewater regulations for medium-sized agglomerations.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Liucheng County, Liuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 71,100 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. The plant is situated along the S210 road in Daoshui area, providing municipal wastewater treatment for the local community. As a facility serving a medium-sized population, the plant is expected to meet secondary treatment standards as per China's national wastewater discharge regulations (GB 18918-2002). Chinese regulations require municipal wastewater treatment plants to achieve at least secondary treatment to protect receiving water bodies. Typical plants of this scale in Guangxi employ biological treatment processes such as activated sludge or oxidation ditch. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that eventually drain into the Pearl River basin, which flows into the South China Sea. The receiving water body is likely a tributary of the Liu River or Hongshui River, part of the larger Pearl River system. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and industry downstream. Proper treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect the ecological health of the river system.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local waterways within the Pearl River basin, which ultimately drains into the South China Sea. The downstream environment includes the Liu River and Hongshui River systems, which support freshwater fisheries and irrigate agricultural lands. The region's subtropical climate and seasonal rainfall patterns influence dilution capacity, making consistent treatment important to prevent nutrient loading and algal blooms in downstream waters.
